On April 1, 1924 the Royal Canadian Air Force was officially established when the Canadian Air Force, created after the end of World War One, was rechristened by King George V.
The Canadian Encyclopedia states:
The RCAF consisted of a permanent full-time air element, a Non-Permanent Active Air Force (NPAAF) intended to train for a few weeks each year, and a Reserve Air Force to be called upon during national emergencies.
I have written before about my Dad’s time in the R.C.A.F. during World War Two. You can read that post here.
Canada’s History magazine, formerly known as The Beaver, has a regular back-page section they call Album. They request submissions of a “photograph that captures a moment, important or ordinary, in Canada’s history.”
I was honoured to have a photo of my Dad with a write-up featured in the April/May 2024 issue. You can view it here.
